IF crime.

AS THE hands employed in the factory OF
Mr.. Lorrilard have struck, it's to be pre-
sumed either chat that gentleman, when he
wrote his recent article in favor of the rights
of labor, was wrong, or else that he does not
practice what he breaches. This is 8 free
and equal country. Every employee in it
has the right to work when, where, for
whom, aud for what he chooses. But, for O
like reason, every employer has the right to
choose his employees, aud to pay them what
he thinks his business will Afford All wise
employers viii go to the limit in the latter
respect. for the reason that they know a
satisfied laborer will do great deal more
and better work than dissatisfied one.

Worth has committed the fault. not to
be forgiven by a woman, of duplicating
ball dresses fer two leading society women,
al the capital. It all came out at the
British legation ball last week, and the
little scene WAS a funny one. The first
of the two to enter the ballroom was
lady from Philadelphia, the daughter of
millionaire in congress. Her dress
elected general admiration, and the re-
mark, 'No doubt of that being Worth

room, A few moments later New York
woman appeared in a dress of the same
lovely maize, color, the, exact material
and fashioned as much like tho other
dress as two peas. They met, and there
were lool1s-it need not be said they were
looks of establishment, disappointment
and polite chagrin. They.saw tho cxpla-
nation in the duplicated gowns, and no
words were necessary.
But women usually finds words ncces-
sary, If only to relieve their feelings. II

IN tones equally faint and despairing.
When they had sufficiently recovered to

duplicates. Fortunately, as third party
said. They are both awfully rich and
can afford to throw away the, dresses if
they choose" But they are very mad

this. Many hundreds of lives have
